Remake is a multi-band effect designed for rich and crisp sound. The input signal is split into 3 parts. Then resonances are added to the lows (under 100Hz) and at the same time two harmonic voices are added to the mid frequencies only. One unison voice and one on perfect fifth interval. These 2 voices have their own positions in the stereo. Then the original mids are mixed with the additional voices and the signal goes through warm and gentle overdrive/gain booster effect with gain control. The high frequencies of the sound are sent through slight vibrato effect. All these signals are finally mixed on the output to form the result sound. The effect can work as a stand alone app and as an audio unit AUV3 plug-in. Controls: - Bass Vibe - amount of resonances on the low frequencies - Mid Gain - gain on the midshipmen’s - Voices - level of the additional mid voices - Reverb This is my first multi-band effect and I made it on a music hack day at Vienna to demonstrate my audio technology.

Tapko Lift is a super simple AUv3 guitar boost plugin built for live playing on iPhone and iPad. When it is time for a solo, Tapko Lift gives you instant volume lift without turning your rig into another amp sim or overdrive pedal. It is designed to do one job extremely well: help your guitar step forward in the mix while keeping your core tone intact. Why is it good? - One huge SOLO button for fast live use - Tap to latch, hold for momentary boost - Boost control from 0 to +12 dB - Three subtle character modes: Lift, Heavy, and Reach - AUv3 host parameter support for direct control in hosts like Loopy Pro, AUM, Logic Pro for iPad, Cubasis, and GarageBand - Lightweight, focused interface that is easy to understand in seconds Modes: - Lift: clean level boost with no tone change - Heavy: warmer, bigger solo feel - Reach: tighter low end with more cut in the upper mids Use Tapko Lift after your amp and drive chain for a clean volume jump, or place it before the amp if you want your solo to push the front end harder. Tapko Lift is not an amp simulator, not a full EQ, and not a distortion collection. It is a focused utility pedal for getting heard when the lead moment arrives.
